Expenditure plan

On May 16, communities across New York State will vote on proposed school budgets as well as on board of education elections. Here in Spencerport, we have been working hard to put together a spending plan that is both responsive to students’ needs and respectful to our community members as we consider the tax burden it places on residents.

The proposed budget totals $92,744,041 and addresses the priorities that have been identified by our community through our Budget Focus Group, public ThoughtExchange, voter exit poll, and numerous meetings with students, faculty, staff, administrators, parents, and residents:
      Budget priorities
